About the Fenway Hotel
Originally opened in 1927, The Fenway Hotel is an icon of the jazz age, playing host to notable explorers, artists, politicians, musicians and living legends in its time as an operating hotel. Today, Fenway is a Mainsail Lodging & Development property and a member of the prestigious Autograph Collection® of Marriott International, Inc.
The Fenway Hotel overlooks the beautiful Dunedin Channel offering views of breathtaking sunsets and gorgeous Florida waters. We’ve created a homage to Dunedin’s rich music history and a destination for those to get carried away in their own verse. If you share our passion, we look forward to hearing from you.
It’s time to write your own tune with us and join the band at Dunedin’s very own jazz-inspired boutique hotel. Can you sing along? Apply today!
